WordPress runs a huge share of the web because it solves one problem very well: letting non-developers publish and edit content without waiting for a developer.
Hiring here usually means either a custom theme built properly, or rescuing a site buried under thirty plugins and running slowly.

Common questions
Is WordPress secure?
The core is maintained carefully. Most breaches come through abandoned plugins and stale versions, which is a maintenance problem rather than a WordPress problem.
Why is my WordPress site slow?
Usually too many plugins doing overlapping work, unoptimised images, and cheap shared hosting. All three are fixable without rebuilding.
